@jameschong_doc @TejasDmukh @WestmeadInst @WARC_USYD @clara_chow @thecsanz Well done @TejasDmukh !

@BiancaJudyC @agathakwon @echoguru @BeardedHeartDoc @RobChamb87 @Becho2106 @NMerke @echo_batman For regurgitation we use grade 1, 2, 3, 4 which aligns with ASE severity tables. With occasional inbetween eg grade 3-4. For stenosis mild, moderate or severe with only rare hedging (when very close to next grade).

Congratulations on the Sonographer Lifetime Acievement Award at ASE @BonitaEcho, it is so well deserved. You are an inspiration for all cardiac sonographers.

Looking forward to it! #ASA2024

@BiancaJudyC @RobChamb87 @echo_batman @Echo_Harefield @echo_stepbystep @echotalk @Becho2106 As per @RobChamb87 depending on valve type you often need to measure the LVOTd and VTI pre-stent. This should make the diameter much larger and also lower LVOT VTI. PPM should have elevated gradients.

@echoguru @BiancaJudyC @NMerke @BeardedHeartDoc @agathakwon @Becho2106 @echo_batman @dr_benoy_n_shah @kaznegishi Totally agree

@BiancaJudyC I prefer the BSE method of starting with the sample gate on the valve then moving toward apex until the laminar signal is obtained. Otherwise it is tempting to stop too far from the valve and underestimate the stroke volume.

@BiancaJudyC @RobChamb87 @Becho2106 @echoguru @echotainment @The_Echo_Nerd @nat_echo @GWhalleyPhD @echotalk @The_echo_lady Yes! Prof Liza Thomas talks about this often. It is important not only for volumes and hence diastolic assessment but also LA strain (strain will be overestimated if foreshortened).

@BiancaJudyC @Becho2106 @thecsanz Large BSA can be a challenge. Are they tall or obese? If they are very obese the indexed area can be severely stenosed even if valve is only mildly stenosed in real terms.
